NJHS

Maggie is an officer for the National Junior Honor Society at her middle school. As such, she had to attend the induction ceremony for the 2008-2009 school year. Her role was to welcome the new members, recite the pledge and say a few words. She made me laugh when she began the pledge facing the wrong flag! She quickly realized her mistake and turned after only a few words! Another almost bad moment, was when she had to light her officer flame, and the lighter was hesitant to flame up! Luckily it did after a few tries and Maggie was spared the embarrassment!!

Shaking hands of the new NJHS members (there were over 100 new kids inducted!) She is still an officer for now, new officers have not been elected yet.

These next pics are from last years ceremony, where Maggie was inducted into the NJHS and elected an officer.

It's only been a year, but I can see how she looks older!

A side note: The principle spoke at the ceremony and said that he wanted to talk about people that he admired -he could only think of sports figures at first, but then he said he realized that that the kids sitting before him were future doctors, lawyers and leaders in our communities. He said he respected them so much for their academic and service oriented achievements. It made me feel proud as a mom! Good job Maggie! You are a great kid!
